Despite the simultaneous and interconnected crises ravaging the global economy, can Australia find a way forward that leaves the country stronger?

How can the economy support a more robust and inclusive democracy? And what legacy does the new treasurer want to leave?

Dr Marija Taflaga is the Director of ANU Centre for the Study of Australian Politics and a Lecturer at the ANU School of Politics and International Relations.
